The Kylemore Global Centre's Weekend Workshops have been constructed with the central idea of emerging from COVID-19 as a creative, mindful, and strengthened individual. Each workshop possesses and combines aspects such as creativity and creative freedom, spirituality, mindfulness, refocusing, music, and writing with the aim of re-centering one's self.
Join us here at the idyllic setting of the Kylemore Abbey to hone in on yourself through meditation, songwriting, and personal and place-driven narrative writing. The workshops are two nights and three days and costs €495 which includes en-suite accommodation, all meals prepared by our in-house Chef, and all cultural activities.
